Do you ever just get pent up?Like with emotions I mean.
Just so pent up you feel like you may explode with the amount of feelings you carry?
I know I preach a lot here but I warned you about that didn't I? Anyways- I've already expressed in a past chapter that my emotions are strong and how important it is for me to express them. Sometimes though, putting my feelings into actual words can be hard for me, and I know it's like that for a lot of other people as well.
For me, writing is what helps me get out my feelings when I'm having trouble. I know I literally just said that sometimes I cant form my feelings into words which is true but in a different sense.. What I meant by that was, using mouth words face to face with another person or over the phone can be a bit intimidating, and everything that I want to say and express just comes out in a mashed up mess.
When I'm in the safety of one of my journals or deciphering the emotions my heart gives to me through lyrics and poetry... it's easier sometimes.I'm not the most artistic person- I dont draw and I cant paint a masterpiece but I've taken up painting.
Sometimes when I feel like I just wanna let something out- I just start painting on a blank canvas. I usually just let my heart guide my hand in whatever direction it feels it needs to go. I usually end up painting for hours, getting lost in the swirls of the colors on the canvas mixing and blending with each other.
It's absolutely liberating.
Sometimes after doing it, I feel like something has been lifted off my chest- like I just unloaded a piece of baggage that I didn't know I was carrying.
I won't lie- I accompany my painting with marijuana because it relaxes me more but it isn't necessary
A friend of mine gave this act name, they called it,
"Vent art"So... heres my vent art.
This particular piece took me hours! It went through several different transitions before I was done. This is my favorite one because I literally felt like I had just got done crying my eyes out or something lol.
(The one on the left isn't finished)
If you really need to get something off your chest, or maybe just need a way to relax, painting may help you!
